Param: Premature to set up RCI


PETALING JAYA: One of the country’s foremost legal minds says it is premature to set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into allegations of judicial misconduct based on an affidavit.

Datuk Param Cumaraswamy (pic), a former Bar Council chairman, said the hearing of lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo’s suit against the Chief Justice should be expedited to ascertain if there was at least a prima facie case for the process of an RCI to be held on the issues raised.
